Richard Montgomery

Richard Montgomery (2 December 1738 Swords, Great Britain-31 December 1775 Quebec, New France) was an American soldier who was a General in the Continental Army during the Revolutionary War after being a member of the British Army. He was killed in action in the 1775 Battle of Quebec.

Biography
Montgomery was born in Swords, Ireland, a province of Great Britain. Montgomery joined the British Army in 1756, and was transferred to the Thirteen Colonies, fighting in the French and Indian War. Afterwards, he returned to Britain for health reasons in 1761, although he was really recalled by the Knights Templar, who recruited him. He returned in 1773 as a part of the plan by the Templars to ignite a revolution that could get rid of all opposing claims to the land of the Mohawk, where the Great Temple was located. Montgomery fought for the Revolutionaries as a Brigadier General after becoming a member of Congress, and led Continental troops in the Battle of Fort St-Jean in late 1775, before foolishly leading a Colonial force on an assault of Quebec. Because he could not be dissuadewd, his forces had to be diverted or he had to stop the attack, and the Assassins needed to do so by any means possible.

Death
Stephane Chapheau, an Assassins apprentice, dressed as a Redcoat and headed to the British lines, heading to their cannon positions. With a headshot, he shot Montgomery in the head as he tried to flee a grapeshot attack, and the mission succeeded, with the American army retreating from Quebec.
